Chemical Reaction | A Gwenvid + Dadvid Fanfic

Chapter 9

Max's POV

The next morning, David and Gwen were acting all weird towards each other.

"What the fuck's going on?", I asked Nikki and Neil.

Just then, David passed by and sat down next to where we were. "Oh kids, I can't thank you enough for your advice! It worked!"

"Wait, so are you and Gwen like, a couple now?", Neil asked.

"We sure are!", David replied. "Well, I guess so. I mean, we haven't labeled ourselves as 'boyfriend and girlfriend'. But, everything is working out perfectly!"

Just then, Gwen burst through the door. "Gooood morning, kids!", she exclaimed.

I smirked at David. "Yeah, I can tell", I said.

Gwen walked over to where we were sitting and sat down next to David. "Boy, it sure is a nice day today! I hope you kids are ready for today's camp-tivities!"

"Gwen, you're making this too obvious", Neil said, facepalming. "It sounds like you and David swapped personalities. David is all lovey-dovey and you're the cheerful idiot."

"What? No, shut up, Neil", Gwen snapped, blushing. She picked up her plate and walked to the other side of the mess hall, threw away her food, and stormed out.

"Soooo, how'd it go? Did you ask her out yet? Have you... hehe... kissed?", Nikki inquired.

"Well, I think everything is going pretty swell so far!", David cheered.

"David, do you even know how to ask people on dates?", Harrison asked, coming over to the table with Nerris.

"Well, I actually have never asked anyone out!", David replied. "Bonquisha made all the moves..."

"Alright then!", I said, stepping up onto the table. "David, we're going to help you and Gwen have the best date you two have ever been on. Which should be easy considering you both probably have only been on, like, one. We're going to start with showing you how to be as charming as you can!"

"Oh, you kids would do that for me?", David gushed, putting his hands to his heart. "Aww, that's so sweet!"

"Shut up, David!", I yelled. "Don't make this lame. Just listen to us", I said. I looked back at the others and we all snickered quietly.

"Vell, firstly, all women love... uh... clown suits!", Dolph said.

"Yeah! With tons of clown makeup!", Nerris added.

"And don't forget a red wig!", Harrison said.

"YES! That's SURE to charm her!", Preston yelled.

"R-Really? That doesn't seem like the type of th-"

"Shut up David! We're kids! We know allll the latest trends!", I assured him.

"Okay... if you say so", David agreed. "What else should I do?"

"You guys should have it in that fancy restaurant you went to and saw Bonquisha at!", Ered said. "That place is, like, super cool."

"Yes! And you should totally bring... uh... a banana! They're the coolest new gift!", Nurf added.

"O-Okay. I've never heard that phrase before, but I guess... if you say so. Thanks, kids!", David thanked us. "So, when should I ask her out?"

"Right now!", I told him. "Just go up to her and say 'Hey Gwen? Wanna go out with me?' She'll definitely say yes!"

David inhaled deeply and exhaled. "Alright. Thanks, kids!", he said, marching out of the mess hall. He slammed the door behind him, and the instant we knew he was out of earshot, we all burst out laughing.

"THIS IS GONNA BE FUCKING AMAZING!", I shouted, rolling around on the floor in laughter.

David's POV

I double checked myself to make sure that my freshly done make-up wasn't damaged. The kids had helped me do it, and even though I hadn't had the chance to look in a mirror, they assured me that it looked fantastic. I was starting to re-think the kids' advice, but I had to trust them. They would never want to hurt me!

I strode out of the cabin, adjusting my wig. I saw Gwen placing cones on the ground in preparation for our next camp-tivity.

Alright! Maybe I was a bit nervous, but this was going to be just swell! I looked over at the banana in my right hand. I had picked out the freshest one that I could find in the Quartermaster's pile of food. I looked down at my clown suit, which I still had from my clown school in Paris. It was a bit old, but the kids had said I looked great in it, so I trusted that! I took a deep breath and approached Gwen.

Max's POV

"SPACE KID! SHUT UP!", I whisper-yelled. He was rummaging so fucking loudly in the bushes, looking for acorns. Ever since he went undercover as a squirrel, he had practically become one himself. He hissed in response, but crouched down in the bushes with the rest of us.

"Jesus Christ, David is so fucking gullible!", I told everyone, peeking my head slightly above the bushes. "I can't believe he's actually doing this, what the hell??" David was adjusting his wig in front of the counselors' cabin for the thousandth time.

"Looks like someone wants to make a good impression", Neil snickered.

"This is gonna be hilarious!", I exclaimed, pulling David's phone out of my pocket, getting ready to take pictures. "I can't fucking believe he agreed to this! He looks so stupid with that banana!"

David sheepishly approached Gwen, who was still busy setting up the activity. I could tell Preston was about to burst, so I slapped him to get him to calm down. A bunch of the others were mumbling amongst themselves.

"SHUT UP, EVERYONE!", I yelled impatiently, placing a finger to my mouth and positioning the camera so that it got both David and Gwen in the frame.
